I haven't read or tried this book. And I don't feel like I would be doing my due diligence by approving this PR.

Has anyone else read the book? Would you recommend it?

I haven't read the book either although I've just skimmed the Kindle sample. The examples are in GitHub https://github.com/stevenmhunt/cucumber-field-guide It's definitely in the test automation camp and seems to equate BDD to "writing tests in business language". At >500 pages I'm not going to read it, even if I did want to spend money buying it. There are currently no reviews on Amazon, so no clues there. I've no objections adding it to the page, but if we do I suggest annotating the entry with the disclaimers that: • Its content is not endorsed by the Cucumber community • It appears to focus on using Cucumber for test automation rather than as a tool to support BDD

@mpkorstanje I am happy to provide copies to anyone who needs to review.

@sebrose I recently published the book so there aren't any reviews yet; I confess that I'm more of a developer than a marketer. You are correct that the book is less about the theory of BDD since I felt that The Cucumber Book and BDD in Action covered those concepts well. Instead I wanted to create a reference guide that contains practical examples using Cucumber in Java, JavaScript, and Ruby so that they could speed up their adoption of the tool. A lot of companies do use Cucumber as just test automation but I know it can be a lot more than that.

I wonder if it would make more sense to have a different category for this and other books that focus more on implementation. It's also ok if linking this on the website somewhere doesn't make sense at this time.

@sebrose @mpkorstanje @mattwynne following up on this from the meeting last week: is there a proposed wording or separating the page into sections as we discussed? I'm happy to implement the requirements but I will defer to the core team for those decisions.
